Observation of topological superconductivity in a stoichiometric transition metal dichalcogenide 2M-WS2
Topological superconductors are potentially important for future quantum computation, but they are very rare in nature. Here, the authors observe topological surface states acquiring a nodeless superconducting gap with similar magnitude as that of the bulk states in 2M-WS2, suggesting an intrinsic t...
